Hi Peter, thank you for doing this AMA. I am on H1B and I recently lost my job. I only have about 50 days left to get a new job but I have a spouse who is on his own H1B. I wanted to see and find out legal and smooth options to buy more tim

Yeah I've seen this problem for years as well. To block it, there wasn't much of a direct solution besides using a custom filter that matches on the text inside the element.

When did Ethics and Facebook ever come in the same line, lol!

This is what I am worried about. If it's anywhere the same with M1 then I would just rather bail out of Macbooks and go straight to Windows.

Well, go for it! Your recommendation is still valuable to me. I'm in a haze and insights like these are more helpful than you think!

Thank you for the insight. Much appreciated. Sad to know windows updates is still a problem after 10 years lol

"I'm guessing you haven't ever laid hands upon or used a MBP" Nope, my work forces macbook pros upon all of us and I've been using one with an Intel CPU for years. I don't like it because it's constantly g

Well, I rather meant the screen quality, keyboard and build quality etc. I'm aware that there is no other CPU that offers the same performance per watt as the M1 does, but it looks like the latest Ryzen and The Intel Evo CPUs have come

Interesting that no one mentioned Netflix, which originally started off as nothing more than a rentals company.

AFAIK they're far more sustainable since they need nowhere near the amount of land, water, resources and food as the animals in the dairy and meat industries do. This, and further minus all the torture, suffering and force-feeding

thanks, decided on the 32GB.
13.
by kujin88 4y ago
nope, I just used the DDR2 reference for comparison. Thanks!

by kujin88 4y ago
Thank you. I am in a similar boat to yours and looks like 32GB is a minimum for me at this point

by kujin88 4y ago
Thanks, makes sense!

It's somehow a huge bump in price here in the US, especially after considering that there are great deals on the "Open-Box" 16GB Macbook Pro. Looking at the 32GB, it's at least 500-600 bucks more :/

Thanks!

by kujin88 4y ago
Oh, thanks for clarifying on the swap part. I somehow thought it's as good as let's say DDR2 RAM haha

Thanks! >>> I've definitely repeatably measured consistent performance penalties for Windows over other OSes on the same hardware Not sure about the deal here though, I have a really high-grade Macbook Pro at work and it is a

Thank you. Really well written and appreciate the insight. Regarding m1 macs, I see that people seem to be doing a lot of housekeeping trying to tie things together back again. Since the arm CPU is still new to a lot of apps/tooling, p

Linux was my first choice, however I keep running into issues with Sleep/Hibernate with an nVidia discrete GPU on my laptop; And Optimus seems to be bothersome with requiring constant restarts and hassle.

by kujin88 4y ago
Beg to differ here, I've been on Linux Desktop for 10 years now and used a ton of "major distros" like KDE Neon, Manjaro, Mint, and Zorin etc. All of them were incredibly solid with full driver support (AMD CPU) and stable on

` about WSL: it's awfully slow ` But as far as I remember, something like WSL isn't even possible on a Macbook, right? Can you elaborate on what makes Windows a dumpster fire? Windows 11 looks promising

What do you say about WSL though? I am eyeing a machine that has 32 gigs of RAM and I guess it would be plenty for every container I wanted to run

"Ssh'd into an x86 Linux machine." I would do that too, but I travel a lot as well, and this setup won't work well for me when I'm not home I guess :/

Photoshop is one example, and Adobe Creative Cloud as well.

by kujin88 4y ago
Would you say OSX is worse than WSL though?

by kujin88 4y ago
Well I cannot use Linux as my main OS because of compatibility problems for some software and drivers I use. That said, I'm positive about Asahi. Not sure how long it will take to be ready
